CHEESY POTATO LEEK SOUP



Cheesy Potato Leek Soup image

This recipe is an offshoot of the more classical potato leek soups. This is sort of a meat-and-potatoes type of recipe! It has a lot of cheese in it and can be served chunky or smooth. It is a family-favorite!

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 leeks, minced
1 sweet onion, chopped
12 cloves garlic, minced
4 large fresh bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground coriander
5 russet potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 quart chicken stock, or as needed
½ pound shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh chives, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute leeks, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and coriander in hot butter and oil until softened and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add potatoes and chicken bouillon to the pot and pour enough chicken stock over the top to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Mash potatoes to desired consistency with a potato masher. Stir Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and cream into potato mixture, return soup to a simmer, and cook until cheese melts and soup is hot, about 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and discard bay leaves.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and top with chives.
